Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) introduced gun control aimed at law-abiding Americans on Tuesday. His bill has nine Republican co-sponsors, which means nine Republicans are willing to punish every law-abiding American for the behavior of one criminal in Las Vegas.

The ATF approved the stocks because they are accessories for semiautomatics rather than conversion devices that turn semiautomatics into fully automatic weapons. Curbelo’s bill gets around the ATF’s approval by explicitly banning certain accessories for AR-15s, even if those accessories “[do] not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun.”

And like the Democrat bill–put forward by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)–Curbelo’s bill is already broader than bump stocks alone. In other words, it is a ban that will keep on giving for the Democrats and other gun control proponents.

Here are the nine Republicans who are co-sponsoring Curbelo’s bill:

Rep. Peter King (R-NY)

Rep. Leonard Lance (R-NJ)

Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA)

Rep, Ed Royce (R-CA)

Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ)

Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-MN)

Rep. Ryan Costello (R-PA)

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL)

Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA)

The push to ban bump stocks is especially rich in light of the fact that using the devices probably made the Vegas attacker less effective than he would have been without them. After all, bump stocks are made for novelty rather than precision.

Not Fooled

Simple money deal. It’s not a crime to bribe a congressman. These repubs know it and they know that criminals will always find guns if they want them. People vs Larry Flynt….give it a watch sometime, you will also see a staged event PR stunt with fake reporters and newspeople and cameras doing a TMZ type scheme to boost sales. MAGA

@ Dolfin: You’re right, there was a second shooter. Google “Forensic acoustic proof of SECOND shooter in the Las Vegas”. There’s a 30 minute video describing the truth.
The FBI won’t even acknowledge it.

I agree with Frank and Fangdawg. No proof presented regarding the actual use of bump stocks and the political lines are now Trump vs Global+Coummunism=Globalism. I would add that to be for Trump should also mean to be anti jewish, freemasonic, secret society, MIC as past presidents have warned about and been killed for. The Tea party is the new org to pick the best candidate no matter which party they run under. Trump ran under a major party beause it was the only way he could win. Jesse Ventura won as an independant and was basically run out of the country. A new anti-freemasonic party is being funded. MAGA.

Where is the information that he “used” a bump stock in the shooting coming from. The police announced that two of the weapons they found in the hotel room had bump stocks on them, but there was no reported evidence that he actually used the,
He also had two semi-automatics that were mounted on bi-pods that had been converted over to fully automatics. Those are the weapons that he reportedly did use in the shootings.
If there is information that contradicts that understanding, it should have been mentioned in this article.

Button: FAKE Republicans? Aren’t all members of Congress and the Senate traitors to the great
America? They all need to be replaced as broken relics. They do not show support for their
constituents, they are for globalism, they want to take away America’s US Constitution, and let
the people become communists. The stoops are smart enough to realize they too will have to be
under communist rule.
